The Grapes of Wrath
Slipcase covered in printed buckram
Ribbon marker
This Folio book is bound in cloth and screen-printed in shades of deep navy and vibrant orange. The cover shows the Joad family setting out west in their overloaded truck, while the slipcase features Tom Joad amid the desolate fields of the farm. Inside, full-page colour illustrations by artist Gérard DuBois trace the family's journey, from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to the migrant camps along Route 66 and the flooded fields of California.
Blistering, tender and unforgettable, The Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck’s mighty anthem for the displaced – an epic that hums with quiet resilience and righteous fury. As the Joads navigate hunger, hardship and the unyielding weight of injustice, Steinbeck unearths something enduring: the strength of community, the stubborn flicker of hope and the question of what it means to be human.

John Steinbeck (1902–68) is remembered as one of the greatest and best-loved American writers of the 20th century. During the 1930s, his works included The Red Pony (1937), The Pastures of Heaven (1932), Tortilla Flat (1935), In Dubious Battle (1936) and Of Mice and Men (1937, Folio 2018). The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Folio 1998, 2026) earned him a Pulitzer Prize. In 1962, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Studs Terkel (1912–2008) was a radio-talk-show host, raconteur, genius interviewer and oral historian. He was a master chronicler of American life in the 20th century through his radio programme, The Studs Terkel Show, and through his many books, including Division Street: America (1967), Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression (1970), Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About It (1972), The Good War: An Oral History of World War Two (1984), for which he won a Pulitzer Prize, Race: How Blacks and Whites Think and Feel About the American Obsession (1992), Coming of Age: Growing Up in the Twentieth Century (1995), and Touch and Go: A Memoir (2007). His searching interviews with ordinary Americans helped transform oral history into a popular literary form. Syndicated from Chicago — the city Terkel became permanently associated with and where he had made his home — his radio show ran for 45 years, from 1952 to 1997. He interviewed both unknown and famous people, including figures as diverse as Louis Armstrong, Simone de Beauvoir, Arthur Miller, J. K. Galbraith, Bob Dylan, Dorothy Parker, Marlon Brando, Martin Luther King and Oliver Sacks. Terkel was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a recipient of a Presidential National Humanities Medal, the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, a George Polk Career Award and the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award.
